The Covent Garden Ladies: the book that inspired BBC2's 'Harlots' - Hallie RubenholdIn 1757, a down and out Irish poet, the head waiter at the Shakespear's Head Tavern in Covent Garden, and a celebrated London courtesan became bound together by the publication of a little book: Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies. This salacious work detailing the names and 'specialities' of the capital's sex workers became one of the eighteenth century's most scandalous bestsellers. Yet beyond its titillating passages lies a glimpse into the lives

In 1757, a down-and-out Irish poet, the head waiter at the Shakespear's Head Tavern in Covent Garden, and a celebrated London courtesan became bound together by the publication of a little book: Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies. This salacious work - detailing the names and 'specialities' of the capital's sex-workers- became one of the eighteenth century's most scandalous bestsellers.

Yet beyond its titillating passages lies a glimpse into the lives of those who lived and died by its profits - a tragicomic opera of the Georgian era, motivated by poverty, passionate love, aspiration and shame. In this modern and visceral narrative, historian Hallie Rubenhold reveals the story behind Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies, and the legion of ordinary women whose lives in the sex trade history has chosen to ignore.

Okay shirts if they fit. Neck stretches out some with washing.
Decent shirts. It's difficult to buy clothes online because you don't know how they'll fit until they arrive. The small was too small, and the medium is just a little loose. I'm 5'8" and 150 pounds after losing 65 pounds in a year. I work out and have some muscle. Shirts look good on my chest, but the sleeves are a little too long, and the neck is starting to go bacon after just two washings.

Not worth the price.
Color: 2 Pack(black+white), Size: XX-Large
At best these T-Shirt should be in a 4 pack at maybe $10. Quality is not good, they are very thin, very stretchy and the collar does not hold its shape. Would not buy again.
